Buddy and Princess Sparkley were not happy with me today because homeschool was in session even though it was Little Guy's birthday. And on top of that, it was a snow day for every other school in the city and county and B's classes were canceled. But it didn't even start snowing until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. And by then our school day was done. I think it's stopped for the night now (midnight). But for the first 3-4 hours we were under a severe weather warning and were supposed to get 5-8 inches. After an hour or so a snow plow went through our parking lot and the grounds crew shoveled the sidewalks. We'd gotten as much snow in that hour as we've had all winter to date. But now that the snow has stopped snowing, it's no where near the amount we got in the two separate huge storms last winter. But it's still a lot and the kids have big plans for it in the morning.
Here's the snow throughout the day. top left to bottom right: 2:30 pm hail/sleet (I opened the door and scooped a handful up) 4:10 pm 5:40 pm 7:18 pm 10:29 pm
The boys went out around 4:30. Buddy and Little Guy were eager to get out there with the kid snow shovels they got for Christmas. It hadn't been very long since maintenance guys went past with their snow shovels, but the snow was coming down hard and the sidewalks needed shoveling again so I sent them out front. PS opted to stay inside and be in charge of hot chocolate when the boys came in. The one picture is of Buddy's hood covered in snow. It was a really wet snow, so the boys came in wet like they'd been out in the rain, with snow stuck all over them.
